RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Research process for me goes in a spiral manner through these (or similar) stages: you gather what you already know (make assumptions), you hypothesize, you test the hypothesis, analyse results, critically appraise them, apply the results, adjust or change the assumptions, and repeat.

Detailed explanation-2: -Re: The action research spiral Kurt Lewin (1946) described the steps of the spiral of following self-reflective cycles include: (1) Planning a change, (2) Implementing the change, (3) Observing the process of implementation and consequences, (4) Reflecting on the process of change and re-planning and it is repeated.

Detailed explanation-3: -Research is Iterative It is helpful to think about research as a circular (iterative) process where you approach it as a way to answer a variety of questions instead of a linear or step-by-step checklist to be completed one at a time.

Detailed explanation-4: -This process allows the researcher to unveil their biases and assumptions, negotiate unique socio-cultural and political contexts, and uncover various power dynamics within the research design.

Detailed explanation-5: -The research process is a continuous cycle. Research does not follow a one-way linear progression, instead it is a continuous process of checking and re-checking, evaluating and analyzing, and repeating the entire process over and over again.
